achieve the really full look. By selecting a fill that extends beyond the sham edges, you can achieve a beautifully overstuffed look that exudes elegance and comfort. This pillow styling technique ensures that your pillows become a focal point of your decor, providing a touch of lavishness to any room. Our fills are typically a goose/down mixture, but it is a completely customizable experience. Synthetic fill is a fantastic option for people with allergies. (One thing to keep in mind is a synthetic fill doesn’t have the same fullness as and feel of down.) We believe that ordering pillows should allow you to create a room as unique as you are, and be tailored to your unique preferences.

STORING YOUR THROW PILLOWS One of the best things about throw pillows is they are easy to swap with the seasons, and they can absolutely transform the look of a room with each new succession. This is a trick Mary Carol Garrity uses to refresh spaces in her own home. But when it comes to storing your throw pillows that are not in use, proper care is key to ensure their longevity. Typically, I reuse the inserts and rotate and store the shams. Before stashing them away, though, it’s essential to clean the pillows according to their specific material and care instructions. Once they are clean and dry, consider using breathable storage bags or pillowcases to protect them from dust, dirt, and potential damage. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and lead to mildew or odors. Find a cool, dry and well-ventilated area to store your pillows, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and humidity. If space allows, try to store them in a horizontal position to maintain their shape. By taking these simple storage precautions, you can ensure that your throw pillows remain fresh, plump and ready to adorn your living spaces whenever you decide to bring them back out. When it comes to handling your pillows, it’s essential to follow proper care techniques to maintain their pristine appearance. Avoid the temptation to grab them by the corners (or even a single corner, gasp!) and toss them around. Instead, opt for a gentle approach by scooping them up from the sides or grasping them at the top and bottom. This technique prevents distortion of the fabric. Grabbing the corners can lead to stretched-out corners, which can detract from the overall aesthetic of your pillows — not a good look.

Grabbing the corners can lead to stretched-out corners, which can detract from the overall aesthetic of your pillows — not a good look.

CLEANING YOUR THROW PILLOWS When it comes to caring for custom throw pillows, bedding and draperies, we highly recommend opting for professional dry cleaning. This method ensures that your cherished pieces are handled with the utmost care, preventing any potential shrinkage and maintaining their original color vibrancy. Dry cleaning is particularly beneficial for delicate fabrics and intricate designs, as it helps preserve their beauty and longevity. Trusting the expertise of professional cleaners will give you peace of mind.. To freshen up feather pillow inserts, a simple and effective method is to place them in a tumble dryer on low heat for about 10 minutes. This gentle process helps fluff up the feathers. It’s important to avoid high heat, which can damage the feathers. Additionally, adding a clean tennis ball or dryer balls can aid in the fluffing process by gently agitating the pillows. Taking proper care of your throw pillows is essential for preserving their beauty and functionality. By following these tips and techniques, you can extend the lifespan of your pillows and ensure they continue to enhance your home decor for years to come.

STORMY wEATHER

After extreme weather events, it’s common to evaluate exterior home products and to feel a sense of urgency about replacing them if they’re not providing proper protection. One addition that homeowners should consider is a storm door, however, experts say it’s important not to rush the decision. “Storm doors provide insulation, curb appeal and weather protection for the entry door, but they are not one-size-fits-all,” said Brandon Morris, entry and storm door product manager at ProVia, a manufacturer that carries several brands of customizable aluminum storm doors. “Before making a purchase, first determine your needs and style preferences.” To help homeowners make sense of their options, ProVia is offering this round-up of essential factors to consider:

CONSTRUCTION To reap the maximum benefits a storm door can provide, take thickness and construction into consideration. Those offered by ProVia all feature an aluminum wall thickness 20% greater than industry standard, to provide greater protection to your entry door, along with stability and durability for long-term use. Most brands they carry also have multi-hollow construction, which translates to greater strength and security than standard storm doors.

STYLE Storm doors are not always just functional. Certain manufacturers understand that they are a home element that can boost curb appeal, too. Decorative storm doors come with options like beveled glass, stained glass, and privacy glass, adding visual appeal 10 Hancock homes 18 |HOME TRENDS MAGAZINE

and a unique artistic statement where you least expect. Different colors and multiple options in hardware styles and finishes allow the storm door to blend in with your exterior design, whether that’s traditional and understated or ultramodern and eye-catching.

GLASS The type of glass you choose can maximize energy efficiency. Low emissivity (Low-E) glass doors, for example, have a thin, invisible coating that reduces infrared and ultraviolet light coming through the door glass. In winter, Low-E glass lets radiant heat pass through, but doesn’t allow it to come back out, for a cozier interior. And in summer, it helps keep heat out. Low-E glass also features UV protection that can prevent fading of items inside your home. Storm doors with removable glass panels and retractable screens enable airflow and crucial ventilation between the storm and entry doors while letting the design of the entryway shine.

ACCESSORIES Accessories can create additional functionality for your storm door. Have a furry friend who needs regular outdoor access? Consider a doggie door so they can come and go as they please. Some manufacturers offer this option in multiple sizes to fit your pet’s needs. No streetside mailbox on your property? Add a mail slot to your storm door. Other optional features, such as a piano hinge and bottom expander, and an easy release closer, can help your storm door operate more smoothly while ensuring it’s custom-fit to eliminate drafts.
